FOUNTAIN-PEN 0F TI-I SELF-FILLER TYPE.

Application filed J' uly 5, 1918.

To all whom, t may concern:

Be it known that I, FERDINAND SCHEIB- LEGKER, a citizen of the UnitedStates, residing at New York city, in the county of New York and Stateof New York, have invented certain Vnew and useful Improvements inFountain-Pens lof the Self-Filler Type; and do hereby declare thefollowing to be a full, clear, and exact description of the invention,such as will enable others skilled in the art to which it appertains tomake and use the same.

My invention relates to improvements in fountain pens of the self-fillertype, and more particularly to the manner of connectingthe pressure barto the elastic ink reservoir.

The object contemplated by the invention is provision of an extremelysimple connection between the pressure bar and the ink reservoir, andthe consequent elimination of parts which increase the cost ofmanufacture and consume time for their proper assemblage.

To the accomplishment of the recited objects, the preferred embodimentof my invention resides in that construction and ar rangement of partshereinafter described, shown in the accompanying drawings, and embracedwithin the scope of the appended claims.

In said drawings,

Figure l is a partial longitudinal section of a pen embodying myimprovement.

Fig. 2 is a perspective view of the ink reservoir showing the manner ofattaching the pressure bar thereto.

Fig. 3 is a transverse section lalong lines 3-3 of Fig. 1, and

Fig. 4: is a perspective view of a slight modification.

In the drawings, 5 designates a conventional type of pen casing orbarrel, carrying the usual lever 6. Within the casing is mounted anelastic reservoir 7 and a pressure bar, as 8, which is adapted to beengaged by one end of the lever 6 for the purpose of inflating thereservoir just preparatory to replenishing the supply of ink from anink-well, ink-bottle or the like, as is generally understood in the art.

The connection between the reservoir 7 and the pressure bar 8 is securedby first turning in a relatively short portion of the Specification ofLetters Patent.

Serial No. 243,320.

closed end of the reservoir as at 9, and then bending one extremity ofthe pressure bar tightly around the double thickness thus produced, thebending of said extremity virtually forming a clip 10. If desired," theopposite extremity of the pressure bar 8 may also be bent upon itself,as at 11, in order to avoid any likelihood of rupturing the material ofwhich the reservoir is constructed. The relative dimensions of thereservoir and pressure bar are such as will permit of their beingintroduced into the j barrel or casing, allowing, at the same time, forsuflicient frictional engagement with the wall of the barrel to maintainthem against displacement during ordinary usage.

In the modification shown in Fig. el, the pocket l2 is disposedexteriorly ofthe reservoir.

What is claimed is: i

l. A Jfountain pen casing inclosing an elastic reservoir, the closed endof which is turned inwardly, and a pressure bar embracing said inturnedend.

2. A fountain pen casinginclosing an elastic reservoir, the closed endof which is rentrant, and a pressure bar embracing said rentrant end.

3. A fountain pen casing inclosing an elastic reservoir, the closed endof which is provided with a pocket, and a pressure bar having one endengageable in said pocket.

4l. An elastic reservoir for fountain pens having a rentrant terminal,and a pressure.

bar provided with a clip at one end engageable with the rentrantterminal and the adjacent eXterior portion of the reservoir.

5. A fountain pen casing inclosing an elastic reservoir, the closed endof which is doubled upon itself, and a pressure bar having one endtightly secured to said end of the reservoir.

6. An elastic reservoir for fountain pens provided at one end with apocket. and a pressure bar frictionally engageable with said pocket.

In testimony whereof, I affix my signature, in presence of twowitnesses.

FERDINAND SCHEIBLECKER.
